Get Hfsrb Illinois

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the State of Illinois have contracted with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) along with other Managed Care Organizations (MCO) to implement Medicaid to all counties in Illinois.

HealthChoice Illinois is the statewide Medicaid managed care program. Most Medicaid customers are required to choose a primary care provider (PCP) and health plan.

Depending on the health care provider, the Office of Health Care Regulation may license, inspect or certify those that must comply with state and federal regulations.

If you aren't sure if your Medicaid coverage has been approved yet or if it is still active, you can check Manage My Case or call the state's Automated Voice Recognition System (AVRS) at 1-855-828-4995 with your Recipient Identification Number (RIN).

The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) is responsible for providing healthcare coverage for adults and children who qualify for Medicaid, and for providing Child Support Services to help ensure that Illinois children receive financial support from both parents.

To be eligible, children must live in families with countable family income within 147 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL). The parents/caretaker relatives are eligible for coverage if the countable income is up to 138% FPL. Children covered under All Kids Assist have no co-payments or premiums.
